montpelier, john carol -- thank you very much. so i told you when we were at montpelier that when the new georgia constitution which banned ministers from holding public office was published witherspoon wrote this satirical op-ed piece in which he castigated that, he made fun of it sarcastically, in which he said, oh, i understand now. if you're a good minister and you're a faithful shepherd of your flock and you behave yourself, you can't serve in the georgia legislature. but if they defrock you for some sort of immorality, then you're allowed to be a legislator. good idea. so his thought was ministers ought to be serving in congress, that ministry is not -- so the important point i'm trying to make here is that the declaration's phrase about divine providence mirrors perfectly w lly witherspoon's o usage and addresses to political and religious audiences or we might say to enlightened and awakened audiences, both. next let's look at reverend samuel west's election day sermon of just two days later. may 19, 1776. this is two week

carol, over the weekend you spoke to john dowd.t was his explanation of the tweet and what exactly the president knew about mr. flynn and when did he know it? >> so john dowd is the president's personal lawyer. and on seatd at the poses we reported based on two sources that dowd had actually drafted and written that tweet. on sunday morning mr. dowd let me know that that was true. he had drafted it. and he also explained that it may not have been as precise as he would have liked. he used some other words for that and he said that the president didn't know that flynn had lied to the fbi. no one told, i should say, no one told the president that flynn had lied. he wanted people to understand that the white house counsel had communicated to the president that flynn had likely told the same inak rat story to the fbi that he told the vice president. >> o'brien: a little surprising that a defense attorney of that stature would be so imprecise. >> well, many people are speculating right now that indeed, the president did know this. but w

john conyers resigned earlier this week. wolf, back to you. >> we can hear the carollers behind you. two republicans, one just announcing his resignation and another under the house committee investigation. >> i think they are dropping like flies, to be honest. and i think that what trent franks did was rather than face an ethics committee investigation, that would be long and drawn out and there's a long statement that he issued, he decided to quit because, as m.j. lee says and the ethics committee no longer has jur jurisdiction over him and tharenhold may reconsider. trent franks said he's never physically intimidated, coerced or attempted to have any sexual contact with any member of his congressional staff but then went into a long story about his remarks may have been misinterpreted and i think that clearly there were some complaints and he said in the cultural and media climate, i'm convinced that he would be unable to complete a fair house ethics investigation before distorted and sensationalized versions of this story were to come to light. so rather than do that, he left. >>
